Magazine: Pucchigumi September 2020

In which I get a little bit of childhood bliss with my friends the Sumikko asking for the ride. Does anyone else feel like time goes both really slowly and quickly with all the stupid stuff associated with 2020? I’m constantly behind on everything professionally and personally, but at the same time I just noticed […]

Magazine: Oekaki Hime September 2020 + Sumikko Gurashi Stationery Furoku

In which the magazine is nice, but the furoku is a veritable pile of Sumikko amazingness. Here’s yet another kids’ magazine from Japan with yet another set of Sumikko Gurashi furoku that still manages to stick out from the competition just by being so plentiful.

Magazine: Animedia July 2020 + Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Clear File Furoku

In which I just sort of pick and choose things I like, some things never change, and — ooh, a really nice clear file!

Magazine: Spring August 2020 with Rilakkuma Eco Bag Furoku

In which I find just the thing for my next walk to the store and am reminded there’s still a world out there.

Magazine: Chara Parfait Sept-Oct 2020

In which everything, furoku and magazine, come together as cool and smooth as ice cream.

Magazine: Otomodachi Pink August 2020

In which, enh, I can take or leave this one.

Magazine: Tanoshii Youchien September 2020

In which there is a lot that’s great about this magazine, but best of all, as always, is the furoku.

Magazine: Oekaki Parfait Stamp Pen Ippai Mook

In which my shameless weakness to Sumikko cuteness is at perhaps an all-time high.

Sumikko Gurashi: Tonkatsu & Ebi Furai no Shippo Fan Book

In which we celebrate Tonkatsu and Ebi Furai no Shippo even more than usual around here.
